Old Yamaha 5HP

[markpoint]

I have, what I believe to be, a 1970-73 Yamaha 5hp Aux outboard. It is marked 5AS/ 644 S .

Does anyone know what year this is and a good source of spares for Yamaha mail order parts for the older engine.

Thanks

This site may be more helpful as it tells you where to find the date letter http://www.storesonline.com/site/573683/page/599291 but neither go back before 1973. Is that when Yahaha motors first appeared perhaps.


What rubbish I've scrolled down the page now and see that 644 does indeed indicate a 1970 - 73 model!

Hi
Obviously the original post was quite some time ago, but I have the exact same outboard which has recently been given to me, it is in really good condition and has not run for many years. I have tried without success to locate somewhere i can purchase spare parts from to give it a good service, any information would really be appreciated.

I had an aircooled Yam 5hp years ago ... had it on the back of my Alacrity - then on back of my Snapdragon 23 - till I replaced it with a Mercury 7 Saildrive O/bd.

I think your best bet for any parts you require will probably be Bill Higham Marine. I expect this is who Kawasaki meant! Outboard Spare Parts Archives - Bill Higham Marine

However the model is obsolete and many parts will be no longer available although I believe the engine was also rebadged as an early Mariner and that some Mariner spares may be suitable and available.

Many of similar sized O/bds in those days were based on Tohatsu or another brand ... with carbs and various interchangeable ....

Fuel related - worth comparing with Strimmer and other powered stuff ... surprising how many items are similar.

Another source you could try is Cambridge Outboards at Soham. They are very helpful.
